Is it time yet?

Congress isn't coming back to work any time soon yet they are getting paid. Isn't it time for American people to refuse to go to work until these over privileged assholes go back to work and actually do the fucking jobs we hired them to do?

Maybe it's time for that general strike that so many have been talking about.

On Topeka TV, The Kansas delegation in DC will not accept their paychecks until the shutdown is over. Fucking martyrs. I wonder if they will depend n food banks.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
